I have to answer some questions for my english class on the Scarlet Letter, can anyone help with any of these?
1. Chapter 13- What qualities of Hester's seem to be diminishing during these years of wearing the scarlet letter? What causes these changes?
2. Ch. 19- Give examples of 3 paradoxes
3. Ch. 20-21- Hawthorne writes, "Children have always a sympathy in the agitatoins of those connected with them." Explain how Pearl illustrates this statement.
4. Ch 22-23- Dimmesdale's redeeming action is the climax of the novel. Report what happens.
Dimmesdale describes his impending as "triumphant ignominy." Explain this paradox.
4- Ch 24- Quoting from this chapter, state the theme of the novel.
Explain the symbolism of the tombstone.
If anyone could help me with any of these questions, that would be GREAT!
